3-Day Fes to Merzouga Desert Tour

The 3-day Fes to Merzouga tour suits travellers who want a real Sahara experience from northern Morocco and accept two long driving days. With about 460 km each way, days 1 and 3 are mostly spent on the road, although the Middle Atlas and the Ziz Valley give plenty to look at. The full day in Merzouga is the counterweight, with time to rest or try an activity. Couples, friends and families with teenagers usually enjoy the rhythm, while travellers who dislike long drives might consider a shorter desert tour.

Spring and autumn are usually the most comfortable seasons for the Fes to Merzouga desert tour, with mild days in the Middle Atlas and pleasant evenings in the dunes. In summer the desert and the Ziz Valley can be very hot, while Fes itself is also warm. In winter the Middle Atlas around Midelt can be cold, snow is possible on the higher stretches, and the nights at the Merzouga camp are properly cold. A warm layer is therefore worth packing at any time of year for the camp.

For the Fes to Merzouga desert tour, bring layers: light clothes for the dunes, a warm jacket or fleece for the camp and for the mountain crossing. A scarf, sunglasses, sun cream and closed shoes help with sun, wind and sand. The tour does not include lunches, drinks, entrance fees or tips, so keep cash for the lunch stops near Midelt, optional activities and your driver and guide. Dinner and breakfast at the camp are included. A small bag for the two nights is more practical than a large suitcase.
